Counterfeit Saves Sandu

Jeff McMillan
Jeff McMillan
Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Cristinel Sandu's short stack of 33,000 was at risk preflop.

Cristinel Sandu: J♥10♥ All in
Arvydas Merfeldas: 3♥3♦

Sandu started to stand up to go as the board was quickly dealt 6x6x8x4x4x. He said "good game," and was about to leave before he was made aware that he actually doubled up with the jack kicker on the double-paired board, which counterfeited Merfeldas' treys.

He sat back down with his renewed stack.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ali Eslami was already all in and at risk from the hijack against Jason Dehner, who was in middle position.

Ali Eslami: Q♥Q♣All in
Jason Dehner: A♥K♥

It was a virtual coinflip, but the 2♥A♦3♣5♥6♠ runout left Dehner best after pairing his ace and Eslami was eliminated early in Day 3.
